I like that Helen Mirren has been saying the next doctor should be a woman. I would like to go on record and say that the Queen should be played by a man!

The Doctor: I've seen bigger. Clara: Really? The Doctor: Are you joking? It's massive!

There's something really cool about scaring children. Traumatize a generation, that's what it's all about.

See the bowtie? I wear it and I don't care. That's why it's cool.

There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick.

I'll be a story in your head. But that's OK. We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know; it was the best.

I can't see what's wrong about assuming intelligence in your audience and what's bad news about being rewarded for assuming that.

You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what’s right, even when everyone else just runs away.

An awful lot of storytelling isn't really about making people understand - it's about making people care.

Demons run when a good man goes to war.

What's the point of being a grown-up if you don't get to be immature?

If you talked to your friends the way you talk to your body, you’d have no friends left at all.

Quite a metaphor. The person in the most pain wins. Does that mean I get a Blue Ribbon?

In evolutionary terms, that means we asked for it.

When you're threatened, or something hard hits you, acknowledge it, embrace it. Don't pretend that you didn't get hurt - hurt, cry, think about it. And then you let it go and try something else.

The competitions are as much a part of the tradition as the actual dances.

And the night smells like snow. Walking home for a moment you almost believe you could start again. And an intense love rushes to your heart, and hope. It’s unendurable, unendurable.

If you want to relax, watch the clouds pass by if you're laying on the grass, or sit in front of the creek; just doing nothing and having those still moments is what really rejuvenates the body.

International relations bears more than a slight resemblance to the mafia.

America has to ask itself not what it wants, but what it can afford.

You live and die by results, I asked to be judged on that and people have.
